Bournemouth Predictions

Bournemouth is a Premier League club based on the South Coast of England. Known as The Cherries, they play home matches at the Vitality Stadium, which has the smallest capacity of any ground in the Premier League. Their main local rivals are Southampton, located 33 miles to the west.

Founded in 1890, the club has had a largely undistinguished history until recent years. They usually alternate between the third and the fourth tiers of the English football pyramid. In 1995 the club nearly lost their league status, nearly dropping into the non-league ranks. 13 years later, the club went into administration and were close to going out of business altogether.

At that point, they hire Eddie Howe as manager with the club 10 points adrift at the bottom of League 2 and pulled off a miracle, steering then to safety. Then with the club stabilised financially off the field, led them to promotion to First Division and then the Championship. Howe left for a spell at Burnley, but returned to lead the side to the Premier League, and to flight football for the first time in their history, in 2015.

Bournemouth predictions, given their budget and resources, will always focus on whether the team can continue to survive in the Premier League for another season. This is something they have managed with comparative ease for the past three campaigns.

To that end, the continuance of Howe as manager is a vital component of success for the club. If he stays, Bournemouth betting tips will likely have the club achieving a safe mid-table finish in the Premier League. However, should he be tempted to leave by an offer from a bigger club, then Bournemouth tips should be revised.
